Television - Time Line

Television has evolved significantly since its invention in the late 19th century. Key developments include Paul Nipkow's 1884 creation of a scanning disc that could transmit still images, Vladimir Zworykin's 1923 invention of electronic television, and the 1927 demonstrations of moving images by John Logie Baird and Philo Taylor Farnsworth. Over subsequent decades, television technology advanced through the introduction of color television, remote controls, satellite transmission, flat screen and portable models, and most recently LED and 3D televisions.

Television, an electronic system of receiving images and instantaneous sound,


has been evolving drastically over time. This evolution was only possible with the
discovery of the selenium of Jons Jacob Berzelius. But only 56 years later
Willoughby Smith discovered the property of transforming light energy into
electrical energy, allowing the transmission of images through the electric current.
